Jam is never horrible, but flatting allows you to play IP vs a random player likely to make a lot of mistakes on future streets and keeps variance slightly lower.

I would either check back the flop or bet just 1 bb, you are ahead with your Ahigh. I prefer to bet very small and bluffcatch the river, but betting this size makes no sense to me since you have the best hand most of the time you are converting it into a bluff. As played and since a flop raise makes no sense here, I would just call down.

Would prefer a Flat here as well, as said you have position, SD Value and 13 outs to very likely draw to the best hand.

Eventhough I also Cbet smaller on these kind of paired boards, I would disagree that 1/2 potting here is turning your hand into a bluff?! As squip says, you have the best hand most of the times, so we can get called by worse (lower FDs, Ax which he hasnt jammed and Kx).

Both check back flop and cbet are fine, both options probably have nearly the same expectation.

As played, I am allways flatting flop. If he is trying to bluff you, he will only suceed if he fires turn and river and your draw happens to miss. Also, you will get a lot more value when you do hit.
